Anil Wanjari, Swapnil Chillawar, Sourya Acharya, S N Mahajan

Abstract :

Tricuspid valve endocarditis is mainly a disease of intravenous drug abusers. Tricuspid valve dysplasia is also an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly which can also predispose to endocarditis making the situation still rarer. We present a case of a 20 year old male who presented with massive pericardial effusion with severe right sided heart failure with congenital tricuspid valve dysplasia and endocarditis.
